Awesome lessons learned. Thanks for hanging out with me!
Those are great! Thanks for sharing!
These are great! I could relate to most of them. I agree that it would have been nice to have a lunch break! I wish I could have gone to the "pick a uniform" class. Can you post some details from it?
He he. Capes are awesome. :) It was great to meet you there!
Sounds awesome!
Very cute! And, helpful!
I like the take on why YA is popular. That's exactly why I read it. Adult fiction often wants to show that nothing turns out well. I'd rather read "fiction".
So cool! Thanks for sharing. I was sad to miss it this year--maybe next year!
It was so cool to meet you! Thanks for posting this list. I had to miss alot because of school--I'm glad I can get the cliff notes version. :D
I wear capes everywhere, so that's good.
Wow- great post on LTUE. I actually know an author who dresses in steampunk all the time. IT almost made me write it just so I could wear it :) Thanks!

Love your list. I really missed out not going. Next year . . .
Karen, I think a post is coming in a few days about the uniform.
Thanks for stopping by everyone!
Love it. Wish I could have gone.
I love the list! Lots of good things to learn at LTUE. And just FYI, that girl wears a cape even when she's not at LTUE. It's fun. I prefer over the knee green boots myself. =)
